He further underlined that he did not work for Tinubu, but rather in his administration.
He said, “The people also said we are working for Tinubu, can you believe this. People say things like if you are not in this particular party, you must be working for Tinubu because you are only to split the vote. I worked in Tinubu’s administration, I am not working for him.
“I will work to get Tinubu out of place (Presidential seat) because I think he is bad news for Nigerian’s future.”
Furthermore, when asked if he would collaborate with Tinubu once more, Baba-Ahmed declined.
Regarding the likelihood of the opposition alliance overthrowing the incumbent All Progressives Congress in spite of internal disputes, Baba-Ahmed stated that anti-democratic policies and bad leadership have already undermined the APC.
